"Mind's Playing Tricks" is a great #1. Geto Boys (or at least that single) have really grown in stature over the years. If people on a message board in 1996 were constructing a top 100, you'd have been flamed stenuously for suggesting that MPT was better than "My Philosophy" "Ain't No Half Steppin'" or "Bring the Noise". They were a notch or two above ICP or whatever at that point. In fact, I remember just saying that Scarface was a great MC on rec.hip-hop and get tons of shit for it.
The rise of the South (and Texas) and the respect for Scarface's solo career, as well as the internet fetishism over Rap-a-Lot, have made Geto Boys acceptable.

Right on; "Mind Playing Tracks on Me" is one of the most--if not THE most--forlorn-sounding songs I've ever heard in my entire life...

107. Nas - It Ain't Hard to Tell 4 120
I guess this album has so many great songs that there was some forced vote-splitting, but if you had asked me prior to the results "Will 'It Aint Hard To Tell' make the top 100 rap tracks of the gods results?" I would have responded "Without question."

was just watching a bit of VH1's 100 greatest hip hop songs list and they ranked "Mind Playing Tricks" at #45, if you want any proof of how our list is better than theirs
